Effective as of Fall 2019
Excellent career opportunities are available in airline, corporate and business aviation. The 2018 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook, a respected industry forecast of personnel demand, projects that 790,000 new civil aviation pilots will be needed to fly and maintain the world fleet over the next 20 years. The forecast is inclusive of the commercial aviation, business aviation, and civil helicopter industries. The demand will stem from a mix of fleet growth, retirements, and attrition. PSA Airlines, a local regional airline, has a continuous need for new pilots and had excellent hiring incentive programs.
Formal articulation agreements with other colleges and universities indicate how Sinclair programs and courses will transfer to other institutions.
Students earn specific Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certifications to prepare them with the skills necessary to become a professional pilot in fixed wing aircraft and/or helicopters.
